"I live alone in the city, my family is in a small village near Etah. We don't own any land and we are not paid well there. I sell rangoli colours during festivals and other days I sell flowers outside a temple. I wish I could go back and be with my children before I close my eyes."
"I have never been to school but I watch school buses, children wearing school dress. Mama says I can't go to school because we are poor. I don't have any dreams for I don't know how to dream."
